Vinicius Jr has now scored six goals in nine appearances against Valencia
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Real Madrid thrashed Valencia as Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side moved two points behind La Liga leaders Girona.<\/p>\n

Dani Carvajal fired in an excellent opener at the near post and Vinicius Jr chested in at close range from Rodrygo\u2019s cross before the break.<\/p>\n

Vinicius then finished low into the corner after 49 minutes for his second.<\/p>\n

Rodrygo completed the rout, latching on to a loose pass from goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to slot home, before hammering a fifth past the Georgian.<\/p>\n

Hugo Duro scored a consolation for Valencia with two minutes remaining, poking the ball in from Hugo Gonzalez\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n

Real made a fast start at the Santiago Bernabeu as Toni Kroos\u2019 free-kick was dinked against the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Duro was particularly wasteful for the away side in the first half, spurning several excellent chances.<\/p>\n

The Spanish striker was sent through on goal but shot straight at goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and missed a key chance at the back post after Pepelu\u2019s pinpoint cross, before Real took full control of the match.<\/p>\n

England midfielder Jude Bellingham was not in Real\u2019s squad due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
